Emerging Topics in Mechanics
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Professor Huajian Gao
The conference
This workshop hopes to bring together luminaries and emerging scientists to present latest advances in the broad and multidisciplinary field of mechanics.
The workshop is not intended to replicate conventional scientific conferences but will rather focus on lively interactions and discussions centered around the future directions in mechanics. Specifically, the workshop will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Professor Huajian Gao who has made lasting contributions to this field.
Dr. Huajian Gao
Huajian Gao is a Chinese American scientist who is widely known for his contributions to the field of solid mechanics, particularly on the micro- and nanomechanics of thin films, hierarchically structured materials, and cell-nanomaterial interactions. He is one of 6 Distinguished University Professors at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and Walter H. Annenberg Professor Emeritus of Engineering at Brown University. He is the editor-in-chief of Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.
